Torre d'en Galmés, Prehistoric settlement in Alaior, Spain.
The settlement contains three stone talayots, circular houses with central courtyards, and multiple underground storage chambers spread across the hilltop location.
Established around 1400 BC, Torre d'en Galmés remained inhabited through various periods until the early Medieval era, marking over 2000 years of continuous occupation.
The circular dwellings demonstrate the social organization of the Talaiotic people, with each house containing a central room surrounded by satellite chambers.
Located 5 kilometers south of Alaior on the road to Son Bou, the site charges an entrance fee of 3 euros and lacks public transportation access.
The settlement features an advanced water management system with rock-carved channels and cisterns designed to collect and store rainwater for the community.
